Application filed February 24, 1912. Serial No. 679,547.

To (4/! av/mm it may concern Be it known that T, Gannon Hanna Mon- IHSON, a citizen of the United. States of America, residing at Salt Lake City, in the eounty of Salt Lake and State of Utah, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Pie-Crust l orming and 'lrinnning Devices, oil. which the following is a s 'ieeifieation.

This invention relates to a pie crust forming and trimming device and has for its object. the provision of a simple and inexpensive deviee adapted to form the pie crust into a cup like shape, and after the tilting has been deposited in the cup like crust, and a cover crust has been applied, to trim oil the ragged and protruding edges of the crust.

Further objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the detailed description, which now follows.

in the aeeompany'ing drawing Figure 1 is a perspeetive view of a ring like member hereinafter (.leseribet l. Fig. 2 is a [)Lt'5})0(ttive view of a eylindrioal. former used in conjunction with the ring shown in Fig. i. Fig. 3 is a view partly in side elevation and partly in seetion, illustrating the pie orust totalled into eup shape by passing the ring down over the former, and Fig. -t-

a de tailed sectional view through the ring and crust, illustrating the crust r rady, to be out oli'. as hereinz'rtiter d scribed.

Like rnunerals designate eorrespomling parts in all of the figures of the drawing.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 5 designates :1 preferably eylindrieal former blot-lg and (3 designates an annular member preit'erably having its edges turned, as at 7.

The crustindicated at S is lirst laid over the end of the former ti, as indioated in Fig. 25, after which the ring is pressed down, tori:- ing the dough or crust to the position illustrated in said figure. The crust: and ring are then inverted, and the lorim-r removed,

. leavingig' these parts in the position shown, in

Fig, 4. eo\'er (rust 5 of dough, is planed over the top of the pi: alter the tilhng 10 has been placed in the cup like crust. and by rolling the oylindrioal l'ornier blot-l; over the ring or angular member (3. it is apparent that the ragged and overhanging edges of the cover 5) and body ol the pie erusl. will be crushed or out oil in a neat manner.

From the foregoing deseription it will be seen that the present invention eomprises the two very simple elements a and (I, and that by means ol these simple elements. the 'iust dough is lirst l'ormed to rap like t'orm ainl is then. by means of the element 6. cut, oil in a neat and symmetrieal manner.

It is apparent that this derive is adapted for use in any kind ol pies, whether they be of the nature ol eonteetionery or meat pies.

'hile the elements shown and deseribed, are well adapted to nerve the purposes l'or whieh they are intended, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the preeise oonstruetion set lorth, but ineludes within its purview sin-h ohauges as may be mado within the seope oi the appended elaim.

claim is:

in a deviee ol' the elmraeter desoribed, the eombiualion with a tree evlindrieal t'ormer, ot' a tree ring-like member sultioiently larger in diameter than said l'ormer to permit a thieltness of dough to lie between said 'lormer and said ring-like member to thereby lorm the dough into a oup-lilie l'orm when the ring-lilv'e member is passed over said Former. said ring-like member having one ol? its edges formed to out till the erusl dough when the lormer is rolled thereover, said former being ol sueh length as to span said ring-like member to thereby adapt. it to he rolled over said ringdili'e member, and lo eoart with said ring-like member in rotting oil the erust dough in testimony whereot t allix nursignalm'e in presenoe ot two witnesses.
